As New Jersey expands its medicinal program and inches towards adult use legalization, individuals, small business owners and large corporations alike are vying for a piece of this multi-billion dollar industry. In addition, the recent federal legalization of the production and marketing of hemp throughout the United States raises many questions as to how hemp will be regulated at the federal and state levels. The potential upside and complexity of these emerging markets brings with it a host of legal issues pervading every facet of both the cannabis and hemp industries. This program will examine the wide range of legal challenges posed by the emerging cannabis and hemp industries and the proposed regulatory scheme pending approval in New Jersey.</p>

<u><strong>Topic:</strong></u><br />
Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate<br />
This panel will provide tax advisers with a practical look at the opportunities and challenges for<br />
foreign investors in U.S. real estate seeking to minimize or eliminate the impact of US income,<br />
gift and estate taxes in the wake of the passage of the 2017 tax reform law. After exploring<br />
basic concerns such as FIRPTA, the panel will illustrate structures to implement direct ownership<br />
of real estate and investments in US real estate funds and REITs as well as the alternative of<br />
lending into the US real estate market. Despite tax law changes that may limit the value of<br />
interest deductions, use of debt in conjunction with equity ownership is another valuable tax<br />
planning strategy that will be explored along with other planning concerns and opportunities.<br />

Additionally, the advent of initial coin offerings as an alternative to traditional debt and equity capital raising structures has garnered the interest of investors and with it the scrutiny of regulators. Advocates argue that blockchains will revolutionize and disrupt existing businesses and processes. This webinar will explain the fundamentals of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and the risks and challenges associated with blockchains. This webinar will further explain cryptocurrencies, the status of cryptocurrencies as a security, and raising capital through initial coin offerings. Finally, this webinar will discuss the business applications of blockchains, tokenization, and cryptocurrencies as an asset class.</p>
